New generation of antivirus for mobile phones reaches the final phase of 
development 

Kaspersky Lab begins open beta testing of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Mobile

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management
solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, spyware, worms, hacker
attacks and spam, is beginning open beta testing of a new generation
protection system for Symbian smartphones, and is inviting all
interested parties to participate.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile is a fully functional, integrated
security solution that uses advanced technology to protect smartphones
against malicious programs and unwanted SMS/MMS messages or spam. It
provides antivirus protection from Symbian smartphones both on access
(viruses are intercepted in real-time) and on demand (the program scans
files on the smartphone, including memory extension cards). The solution
also protects the mobile device against spam in the form of SMS/MMS
messages using a blacklist. The user can control the program's
settings, view current antivirus protection status and the event log
where the program's actions are recorded.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile includes antivirus database updating that
ensures that the device is protected against the latest malicious
programs. Updating can be performed automatically using a scheduling
tool or manually, on the user's demand. Database updates are
downloaded via WAP or HTTP from Kaspersky Lab servers. Kaspersky
Anti-Virus Mobile takes advantage of advanced features found in
today's smartphones and uses the device's web browser to
receive antivirus database updates and information about the viruses
detected.

It offers users significantly extended functionality from previous
systems, including: scanning of individual objects (files or folders);
and isolation of infected objects in a dedicated quarantine storage area
to prevent deletion of important information. The antivirus protection
has become even more reliable due to the feature of unpacking and
scanning the contents of .sis files, which are often used by
cybercriminals for distributing malicious code.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile also provides a pioneering antispam
component that protects phone owners from mass-mailed advertising
distributed via SMS/MMS. The antispam component has three predefined
operating modes with different filtering levels: 'Enable',
'B/W Lists Only' and 'Disable'.

In the 'Enable' mode the antispam module filters incoming
messages based on the blacklist and the whitelist, which are compiled by
the user. When a message is received from a telephone number that is on
neither list, the antispam module prompts the user to block or allow the
message, and then to add the sender number to one of the lists. In this
mode the antispam module operates as a personal SMS/MMS filter that
ensures that the user receives only the messages that are needed. In the
'B/W Lists Only' mode the system filters incoming messages
based only on the data from the blacklist and the whitelist. Messages
from numbers that are on neither list are received without prompting the
user. Finally, in the 'Disable' mode incoming messages are
not filtered.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile can be installed on smartphones running
versions 6.1, 7.0s and 8.X, Series 60 UI of the Symbian operating
system. The product is available in two variants: one for Symbian OS 6.1
and 7.0, Series 60 UI, the other for Symbian OS 8.0 and 8.1, Series 60
UI. Beta 2 version of the product, which is currently being developed,
will include support for the following platforms: Symbian Series UIQ and
Windows Mobile 2003/5.0 Smartphone edition.

The conditions and procedures of participation in the beta testing
program are available from the beta testing section on the Kaspersky Lab
(http://www.kaspersky.com/beta) website. The most active participants of
the program will receive a free copy of the program upon commercial
release.
